The Relatable Stress of a French High School Student: A TikTok Video Highlights Academic Pressure

French High School Students Face Mounting Pressure: A Relatable Struggle. The pressure on students to succeed academically is a global issue, but the experience of a French high school student, as highlighted in a recent TikTok video, offers a glimpse into the unique challenges faced by young people in France. The video, posted by maelie_grd, shows a young woman expressing her frustration and guilt over not having enough time to study, even sacrificing sleep to check her grades on PRONOTE, the online gradebook system. "Vouloir tellement avoir des bonnes notes que pour moi 15/20 c'est avoir raté," she says, meaning "Wanting good grades so much that for me, a 15/20 is like failing." This sentiment speaks volumes about the intense pressure students face to achieve high marks. The video's simplicity and honesty resonate with many students who struggle with similar pressures. The video serves as a reminder of the importance of addressing student mental health and finding a balance between academic success and well-being. Experts suggest open communication between students, parents, and teachers is vital in mitigating this pressure.
